The only person I ever wanted to meet was Muhammad Ali. And of all the people I've ever met, he's the one who most impressed me. It's tough to listen to him. You gotta have patience. But you see how strong his mind is. Even now, he's one of the most intelligent people on the planet.

A lot of people I meet say, 'You remind me so much of Magic Johnson.'

These close games that we're losing, the teams are not beating us. We're kind of beating ourselves.

The fans are dying. We're dying.

I don't put pressure on myself. When I put pressure on myself, then I just play bad. When I play bad, my team plays bad.

I don't think there could ever be more pressure to succeed than the pressure I place on myself.

It [boxing] helps my hand-eye coordination, my stamina, my footwork, and it gives me that competitive edge and drive. And in the ring it's mano-a-mano. So it helps you build that arrogance, that cockiness, that confidence in yourself that the man that stands in front of you isn't going to beat you, and that translates to the court.
